Thankyou Chris for those nice words. I just wanted to let
people know that in response to several requests, we are
now implementing the style checking in GNAT as a first
class citizen. This will provide selectable control over
all aspects of style checking now checked by the -gnatg
switch, as well as the ability to parametrize indentation
level and maximum line length checks.

P.S. One of the advantages of the Open Source Systems model
for software is that you know your work will be read by a
potentially wide audience, and it makes it more worthwhile
to put in the effort to make it beautiful and readable :-)
